Always Take The Weather With You

The LORD is slow to anger

but great in power; 

the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. 

His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, 

and clouds are the dust of his feet.

~ Nahum 1

 blindness and confusion of mind.

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved 

 and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; 

all the starry host will fall 

like withered leaves from the vine, 

 like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

~  Isaiah 34

The Future

 

See, Damascus will no longer be a city

I Ain't That Kind Of Baby

Can a mother forget 

the baby at her breast 

and have no compassion 

on the child she has borne? 

Though she may forget, 

 I will not forget you!

I've Seen the Saucers

This was the appearance 

and structure of the wheels:

 They sparkled like topaz,

 and all four looked alike.

Each appeared to be made like a wheel

 intersecting a wheel.

and weep with my friends, 

because I will never marry.”

The Girl With The Mousy Hair

They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

 “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, 

“and I don’t know where they have put him.”

~  John 20

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks
through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it
ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse
has grown up a cow
Now the workers
have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it
ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on ...

Fashion

And as he prayed, 

the fashion of his countenance was altered, 

and his raiment was white and glistering.

~ Luke 9
